Description Famous Chanel no 5 is a symbol of good taste and is currently one of the best selling perfumes in the world. Coco Chanel asked the perfume designer Ernest Beaux to create a perfume ‘which smells like a woman’. Created by Gabrielle Chanel in 1921 to be the ultimate symbol of luxurious simplicity, N¡5 has since become more than a fragrance. It is an olfactory heritage: an idea of femininity, a masterpiece of chic, passed on from generation to generation.
